Good news is that there are three professional football teams here in Edinburgh, so I am sure we will be able to find work for all these desperate & penniless refugees.  Also, lots of bars are short-staffed post COVID, and our haidressers stand ready to give them modern haircuts.  We will take care of these unfortunate people!

Denmark's Faroe Islands just killed 1,500 dolphins for some sort of annual tradition. Is there going to be an outrage for this?
